how to delete old files?

[kyo4311]

gulp.task('rename', function() {
    return gulp.src('./face/**/*.gif')
        .pipe(rename(function(path, index) {
            path.basename = path.basename.replace('_thumb', '');
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./face'));
});

Questions like this belong on stackoverflow, btw

would be great to provide an option to remove old files, for example:

rename({ replace: true })

like that it automatically removes old files.
